Howard Schrier: The specialty products that fall under our umbrella are acoustic doors, stainless steel doors, lead line doors, flood-resistant doors, four-century doors, watertight doors, bullet, and blast-resistant doors. We offer two different levels of bullet resistance. Levels one through three and levels four through eight. The levels one through three are mainly for your handgun ammunition and levels four through eight or more for your rifle ammunition. Doors can be provided in either flush configurations, or we can provide them with visions. All of our doors are factory glazed, meaning that the glass is installed at the factory.
It’s often asked if Assa Abloy can provide more than one specialty attribute within the same door. The answer is yes. For example, our bullet-resistant doors we can provide up to an STC50. Our stainless steel doors we can provide in blast resistance. Our acoustic doors we can provide with bullet resistance, blast resistance and as well as stainless steel. To answer the question, absolutely we take pride in putting more than one specialty attribute within one door assembly.

Jay Vaitkus: We’re often asked if there is a solution that we can provide to customers to save energy in their consumption in the building. One product that we’ve come up with is the Norton 5800 ADAEZ Power Operator. This particular unit uses the motion of the door opening and closing throughout the day. It spins a motor gear box and stores the energy of that door motion in a battery that’s onboard the unit.
When somebody comes that’s mobility-challenged, in a wheelchair or walker or is elderly, and they need assistance to get through the door, that individual will come up and press the wall button and it would activate the door and they would use the energy of the people that have come before them to open the door. In this configuration, this operator is actually 100% energy efficient because it doesn’t use any building power whatsoever. We’re actually using the motion of the people that have opened and closed the door to power the unit by storing it in a battery, so 100% energy efficient.

Speaker 2: There’s a variety of things to consider when we’re looking at a traditional door opening solution versus a sustainable door opening solution. As manufacturers, in the past, what we focused on mainly is the product’s energy use once it’s installed or in its use phase. Now what we understand and what the industry is demanding of us is that we look at the entire life cycle of the product. In a traditional opening, we have a lot of elements around that doorway.
In a sustainable opening we have a lot of those elements now incorporated into the face of the lock set instead. What that means is less energy being used at that opening. What it also means, and what’s important to our life cycle, is that we’re focusing on using less material, less packaging, less transportation. We’re also very aware of what happens to the product when it reaches the end of its life cycle.
Since this is the most basic level of protection, it’s important to choose products that enhance this security option. ASSA ABLOY offers patented key systems to prevent key duplications as well as geographic exclusivity that restricts how a key is duplicated.
Data-on-card technology is often used in multi-family housing such as condominiums and apartments, as well as assisted and senior living and mixed-use facilities. Since online openings are limited to a couple of specific locations, every person with a card gets updated access rights. There is no need to wire every door or seek IT support or equipment.
ASSA ABLOY offers the following main types of wired access controls: ● Integrated Wiegand which is best for exterior doors and main entrances as well as high-security openings. ● Power over Ethernet (PoE) Access Control Solutions which is commonly used in labs and dorms.
Intelligent keys are preferred because they can simply be turned off at any time and eliminate access to unwanted visitors. When standard keys are lost or stolen, all locks need to be re-keyed and keys must be replaced which costs money and time. Since power and programming are done through the intelligent key, there are no wiring, door, or frame changes needed and keys can be re-programmed from any location at any time.
This type of system provides complete access control and is beneficial in areas where it would be too expensive or difficult to install a wired lock. With the device only being installed on the door and programmed to leverage your existing wireless network you will save installation time and costs. There are scheduled and user-initiated updates, therefore manual programming is not necessary.
The goal of the Highly Intelligent Opening is to get more out of the components as well as easier maintenance and management. Benefits include increased security and system performance as well as fewer costs and time for maintenance and enhanced customer service levels.
